Public health researchers and economists say political politicians and officials should be inextricably linked to economic recovery and virus control by advancing the U.S. response to the Kovid-1and epidemic.
Exit polls suggest Trump voters are likely to be concerned about the economy, with a majority of voters voting in favor of President-elect Joe Biden listing the Kovid-19 epidemic as their top issue.
“It’s possible to stop the Covid-1 stop, and to save it from social and economic catastrophe, we just have to want it,” said Greg Gonsalves, assistant professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Medicine’s workshop. Improving responses to epidemic diseases.
During the epidemic, he said, “economists were saying just like public health – that you have to stop the virus.”
More than 237,000 Americans have died from the virus, more than 10 million have been infected and the worst of the epidemic is expected to spread next week.
Public health officials said they must both emphasize that Americans should wear masks, maintain social distance, avoid high-risk situations, and do not want any other economic lockdown in public health. “If the virus continues to spread uncontrollably, the economy will not improve,” he said.
Chief Medical Officer of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officers, Dr. Fischer Dr. “The economy is really important for public health officials,” said Marcus Plessia.
He added, “Everyone in public health is concerned about the economic devastation resulting from the epidemic.” “But it’s the epidemic that is causing this, not the response to the epidemic.”
Economists are also concerned about divided voters who see public health and economic issues as separate. Williams Sprigs, a professor of economics at Harvard University and chief economist at AFL-CIO, said his field would not be able to discern further work when the epidemic struck.
“What we can see from the data is that this is a disease that has slowed economic activity,” Sprigs said. “Whether they are told to stay at home or not, [the virus] Gathering people in public places, flying in planes, staying in hotels has made people uncomfortable. “
Exit polls are often messy, and even in normal years provide only a rough sketch of how different demographic groups vote. Experts believe that 2020 could also paint a less credible picture, as many people cast their ballots by mail-in ballot.
Next, Trump broadly displayed voters’ expectations, raising broad questions about the credibility of the vote. However, if the research contains current statistics after being approved, the U.S. will be able to discuss how to effectively fight the epidemic. Is quite cracked in.
Irty Th percent of voters ranked the economy as their top concern, citing the country’s epidemic as the most important issue. According to exit polls conducted by the New York Times, most people who saw the economy as a top issue also contributed overwhelmingly to Trump, 82% against Biden, 82%.
The one who gave the epidemic a top point, split it for a large bid, 82% against 14%. Biden voters were also more likely to experience the economic and health impact of the epidemic, where Trump voters earn more than 100 100,000 a year and consider their family’s economic situation to be “better.”
“Especially in the beginning, when we close things down, it’s a very bold action on the economy and I think people have really struck people,” Plessia said. “But they lost sight of the fact that there’s a reason we’re doing this.”
Some of the country’s leading public health experts are criticizing their own ability to deliver critical messages to people after your devastating lockdown last spring.
“I don’t think all of us in the public health community have done a good job of sending a clear message,” Dr. Ashish Zai, dean of public health at Brown University School, told NPR News. He added: “Keep the virus under control and we can be more open to the economy.”
Scientists and researchers hope for the end of a president known for making conspiracy theories, confusing scientists and spreading misinformation, so that Americans can be brought into a shared set of facts. In an analysis of news articles about the coronavirus, Trump fueled 38% of misinformation claims, making it one of the largest sources in the world, according to Cornell University researchers.
One central line of Trump’s attack was that public health researchers and Biden wanted other lockdowns than to compare health policies with the “prison state.” In the same way, Trump’s allies have the same economic and social health status as the opposition rather than the supplement.
Gonsalves described Trump’s strategy as “letting the epidemic run its course and blaming public health for the economic and social collapse.” [Trump] Could have been avoided from the beginning. “
Sprigs said the disease-Harris administration raises some of the most epidemiological questions of the epidemic. “The disease has been so disruptive, and what we haven’t pushed is what happens after the real questions.” “What does Amazon and Walmart mean if we emerge and the only thing left is Amazon?”
